Psalms 111

1 Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.

Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with [my] whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and [in] the congregation.

2 Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.

The works of the LORD [are] great, sought out by all them that have pleasure in them.

3 His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.

His work [is] honorable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD [is] gracious and full of compassion.

5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

He hath given food to them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

6 He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.

He hath shown his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

7 The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:

The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all his commandments [are] sure.

8 Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

They stand fast for ever and ever, [and are] done in truth and uprightness.

9 He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.

He sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend [is] his name.

10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.

The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.
